Tears on New Year’s Eve
Had me caught on reverie
Loneliness behind the smiles
Keep the ghosts out of bay.
Yesterday went like a dream
Had me wishing it were all real
Had my thoughts unguarded
Drinking the truth with wine.
I look up at the sky
Where I rumbled my thanks
Lonely eve to bury the past
And create a new life.

Come on don’t be silent
Speak to my heart
Like you still care.
Come on hold my hand
Engulf me in your embrace
Like you used to.
Come on sit beside me
And stay throughout the night
Like you always did.
I don’t bite like them
Your innocence tempts me
Making demons out of me.
And now that you know the truth
Won’t you look at me straight
Like you adored me so?
You look at me with sad eyes
And I can’t do anything
But to face your back.

It matters not what state things are
For change is constant
Every breathing being here
Comes and goes
With the passage of time.
A force that is immovable
Nothing comes by accident
Because everything actually
Has a place
In the scheme of things.
The broken fragments
Of happy memories
Might just become a second-
Fast and fleeting
Because that’s what life is.
There remains only the shadows
Of a life borne out of dust
Maybe that tiny flicker of hope
Would also return to dust
Forever lost in oblivion.

Maybe heaven is hell
And hell a heaven
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe dreams are real
And reality is a dream
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe happiness is pain
And pain is a happiness
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe innocence is guilt
And guilt is an innocence
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe sweet is bitter
And bitter a sweet
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe winning is losing
And losing is winning
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe justice is revenge
And revenge is justice
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe war is peace
And peace a war
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe the present is a past
And the past a present
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe love is hate
And hate is love
Either way
I have lived.
Maybe life is death
And death is life
Either way
I have lived.
And maybe life is a puzzle
Forever a mystery
Either way
I have lived.

There’s a light in your eyes
Sparkling like the clear waters
When you walked by
My ugly windows.
And here I am, just watching
Letting life pass by
Hearing the ills of the world
Seeing the empty shells of people.
Feeling half-awake
With the thick walls
I built upon myself-
That started to crumble.
Confused Am I
With the fear of tomorrow
Hanging in the air-
So much for hoping.
So like water I float
Letting the flow lead me
Somewhere I can be-
Somewhere I belong.
